Theres nothing more mysterious than a locked box. Whether its a literal strongbox, an empty coffin, the inner workings of a scientists mind, or an underground prison cell, there are those who will use any means necessary to unlock the secrets ofThe Mystery Box.
With this anthology, bestselling author Brad Meltzer introduces twenty-one original stories from todays most prominent mystery writers.

In Joseph Finders Heirloom, a scheming neighbor frightens the new couple on the block with an unnerving tale of buried treasure. In R. L. Stines High Stakes, a man on his honeymoon gets drawn into a bizarre bet involving a coffin, a bet he may pay for with his life.
From the foothills of Mount Fuji to Georgias Okefenokee Swamp, from a physics laboratory in wartime Leipzig to an unusual fitness club in Boca Raton, these sometimes terrifying, sometimes funny, and always suspenseful tales will keep you riveted.
